Anneli Drecker

Anneli Drecker is a Norwegian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who first gained international attention as the ethereal voice of avant-pop trio Bel Canto in the late 1980s and 1990s. With a career spanning decades, she’s become a versatile artist known for blending dreamy electronic textures with poetic lyricism. Beyond her solo work, Drecker has collaborated with acts like Röyksopp (you’ll recognize her haunting vocals on “What Else Is There?”) and film composer Max Richter, cementing her status as a Nordic music icon.

Her recent output—including atmospheric releases like *Rocks & Straws* (2023) and the introspective *Between Hotels and Time* (2022)—showcases her knack for moody, genre-fluid storytelling. Whether she’s reimagining poetry collaborations (*A Suite Of Poems*) or dropping hypnotic remixes (*My Emily*), Drecker’s voice remains a captivating instrument, balancing icy precision with warm emotional depth. Bonus trivia: she’s also an actress, having appeared in Norwegian films and TV series!
